That's all from Saurabh and me for today. We will be back on Tuesday for the second ODI at this very venue. See you then!

Mashrafe Mortaza is the Man of the Match. "We know West Indies are dangerous in this format," he says. "But boys bowled really well. It's not easy to score runs on this wicket. Liton played a nice knock, Shakib got some quick runs, that helped a lot. But I think Mushfiqur was brilliant, very professional. Still a long way to go for this team."

"Hopefully, we can bounce back," says Rovman Powell. "We didn't bat as well as we would have liked. I think the wicket became a little easier to bat later on. The senior guys and support staff is behind me."

Time for the presentation ceremony.

8:05pm A target of 196 achieved in 35.1 overs, a clinical performance with the ball setting up the five-wicket victory. Liton Das made 41 before throwing it away but Shakib Al Hasan made a breezy 30. Mushfiqur Rahim played the anchor's role and stayed unbeaten on 55 to see the side home. West Indies, on the other hand, were more reactive than active. If someone hit a boundary, off the went the slip. If there was an edge, a slip came in. While Thomas, Paul and Chase impressed with the ball, they didn't have enough runs to defend.

Bishoo to Mushfiqur Rahim, 2 runs, tossed up on off and middle, Mushfiqur looks to defend, gets an outside edge past slip, comes back for the second and that's it, Bangladesh go 1-0 in the three-match series
